415% Over Quota to Rock Bottom & How He Fell in Love w/ Islam Again | Ep. 19- Tanveer Mostafa, CRO

In this episode we talk about Tanveer’s journey from shoveling snow door-to-door at 11 years old to becoming CRO at Untap Your Sales Potential. He shares what it really felt like to hit 415% of quota at Salesforce… and why that success still left him empty. We unpack burnout, panic attacks, pressure, and the hidden vices many sellers never talk about.Tanveer opens up about rediscovering his faith, rebuilding his self-worth, and learning that elite sales performance starts with mastering your energy, not just your pipeline. We dive into “corporate athletics,” executive presence, why most sellers burn out chasing outcomes, and how Ramadan transformed his mindset and results. This is a raw conversation about faith, ambition, identity, and becoming the kind of person who can sustainably win in sales.Chapters:00:00 Embracing Self-Worth & Being ‘Enough’00:29 Welcome to Dean & Deals (Ramadan Edition) + Guest Intro02:00 Tenvir’s Origin Story: Door-to-Door Hustle to Salesforce03:45 Meeting Ian Cognac & Building a Network Through Podcasting05:52 Leaving the ‘Safe’ Path: Why He Took the Startup Risk10:29 What Untap Your Sales Potential Actually Teaches (Top 1% Framework)11:43 Sales as Corporate Athletics: Mindset, Habits, and Performance15:04 From Hardcore Closer to Trusted Advisor: Burnout, Panic & Wake-Up Calls21:59 How He Hit 415%: Pipeline Discipline + Personalized Prospecting28:49 The Hidden Cost of ‘Top Performer’ Life: Vices, Integrity Gap & Energy35:25 Negative energy on calls: “commission breath” and bad vibes36:49 Show up light & empty: create a safe space and sell through service37:39 Spiritual reset + daily mindset training (like working out)40:48 The “Acceleration Decade”: AI, human being vs human doing41:37 Faith & surrender: prayer as releasing anxiety + letting go of control44:45 Winning from within: ditch vices, dopamine traps, build habits45:52 Goals without attachment: who you become to hit quota49:33 Nervous system & confidence with execs: self-worth and disqualifying51:22 Breathwork + mindfulness alongside Islam (without “speed-running” Salah)55:52 Ramadan reflections: presence over metrics, learning, and miracles01:03:26 Carry Ramadan forward + mortality as a wake-up callFollow Deen & Deals:• Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0TmLGVfHqu3uG8TZyNtPcT• Listen on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/deen-deals/id1847344968Where to find Tanveer:• Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tanveermostafa/• Untap Your Sales Potential: https://www.untapyoursalespotential.com/Where to find Mohammed:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mohammedkiswani/Where to find Futhallah:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/futhallah-hamed/#TechSales #B2BSales #SalesMindset #SalesLeadership #Ramadan #MuslimProfessionals #Burnout #SelfWorth #CorporateAthlete #HighPerformance #DeenAndDeals
